Actually "BK", if you read my post CORRECTLY, you would have noticed that I

Sorry, I'm just frustrated that after spending $1700 a little over a year
ago, its broke and even though I paid for a service contract, but they won't do anything. I'm going to try to call them back and talk to a supervisor.

mine did this same thing until i used a pressurized can of air to blow out
all the vents, etc... apparently the little bit of dust inside was restricting enough air flow to cause it to overheat and just shut down all the time... if you do this, make sure the computer is off and completely cool... and make sure you don't turn the can of air (keep it straight up and down so you don't blow freezing liquid into the computer).... I hope it works as well for others as it did for me... I can't get over how quiet my laptop is now! "BK" wrote in message news:Sxcub.228872$Fm2.229407@attbi_s04... Acutally it sounded like an American guy. First he had me pull the battery, and unplug the usb hub and network cable from it. Next he had me go into the BIOS setup. Then he said leave it like that for 24 hours, but then corrected himself when he realized that Tuesday and Wednesday are his days off, so he said he would call me back on THURSDAY! I said "Hold on, that's not going to work". For one thing, it wasnt even doing anything, so I doubt it would even shutdown. That's when he suggested trying it without the battery. So now I have the battery out, no shutdowns yet, but sure, its not charging the battery and it has a big hole to let air in. "SSeaW" SSeaW AT comcast DOT net wrote in message ... By any chance was the tech support you received from India? "BK" wrote in message news:G05ub.223651$Tr4.661401@attbi_s03... I have a Presario 1500 notebook that gets hot and just turns off. It seems to happen after heavy usage for about 15-30 minutes. It did this before around 8 months ago. I sent it in to Compaq and they sent it back with a "thermal pad upgrade". I noticed after that the fan ran more, but the problem was fixed. I was a happy camper. Now, the problem is back. Its out of warranty, I do have a service contract but I called them and they said that they can't do anything unless it does it while I'm on the phone. They suggested 2 things 1)leave it in the bios setup menu for 24 hours and see what happens, 2)run it without the battery out and see if it shutsdown. Is anybody else still having this problem? Did the Compaq fixes work for you? Are there any home remedies, such as re-applying a heak sink? I know that I will NEVER buy a compaq notebook again. Thanks, Brian |
